- Study examined acoustic features in voice to identify benign vocal fold lesions.
- Key metrics: Harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR) and pitch.
- Included 176 participants; median age was 59.
- Significant differences noted between benign lesions & no voice disorder.
- HNR variability potential biomarker for lesion monitoring.
- Challenges in differentiating lesions from other voice disorders.
- Authors recommend larger, diverse cohorts for future research.
